Courses

During this 10 week course you will learn how to set up a 4 shaft handloom and weave a length of fabric woven with different structures. This will involve winding a warp and setting up the loom before learning how to throw a shuttle and weave well. During the term, Louise Cottey will take some time to discuss other weave structures, techniques, and the work of other cultures and designers over coffee.
